Riverdale Avenue Books is looking for already written (and/or previously
published) stories featuring sex with an object (but not store-bought
sex toys). These are stories featuring sex or sexual attraction to an
unusual object (like a household appliance) or Do-It-Yourself sex toy
stories (I know of a guy who used stainless steel chopsticks as sounds
and a woman who used marbles as Ben Wa balls). These stories could also
include tales of human furniture and/or the desire to become an object
close to a loved one's sex organs (like a bicycle seat or Prince Charles
infamous desire to be Camilla's tampon.

This
will be a Riverdale Avenue Book. We pay 33% royalties on digital and
8% on print. Royalties will be split on a pro rata share amongst the
authors. There is foreign interest in this topic.

We
will publish this book by the end of June ONLINE AND IN PRINT, so the
deadline is June 15. My foreign rights and audio rep will be selling
rights immediately.

If you also remember or know of any stories that fit under this umbrella, please forward this request to that author.

If this works, RAB might do a second one quickly.

Stories should be between 1200 and 5000 words. If you have something longer, please email me directly. We might be able to publish that as a stand alone.

RIVERDALE, NEW
YORK, March 26, 2015 -- Riverdale Avenue Books is pleased to announce the
acquisition of the award-winning eight book SoulShares series by Rory Ni
Coileain.The first title in the series,
Hard
as Stone, will be released on Wednesday, May 27, which features the story
of a powerful love between a disgraced Fae noble and a mortal lawyer. All eight
titles will receive brand new covers.

The SoulShares series begins more than two thousand years
ago, when the Fae of the Realm walled themselves off from the human world, in a
last-ditch attempt to save the Realm from the unimaginable malevolence of the Marfach. The wisest among the Fae were
able to foretell that only Fae in the human world had any chance of destroying
the Marfach. So they left one path by
which Fae –exiles, misfits, rebels – could make their way to the human world.

At
a terrible cost. A Fae passing through the Pattern loses half his soul. That
half is reborn, somewhere in human time and human space, in a human. In order
to be whole, in order to stand a chance in the final battle against the race’s
most ancient enemy, an exiled Fae must find – and mate with – and love – the
human who bears the other half of his sundered soul.

The
problem? Fae don’t love.

Hard as Stone was a finalist for Best Debut Novel and Best Gay Erotic Romance in the 2012
Rainbow Awards and was also a finalist for Best Erotica, in the 2012 Preditors
& Editors Readers Poll.

Gale Force,
the second novel in the SoulShares series will be released on June 10th, followed by Deep Plunge, the third novel in the
series on June 24th, and Fire
Storm, the series’ fourth title, on July 8th.Blowing
Smoke, the first new novel in the series, will launch on July 22nd.

“It’s so
exciting to be partnering with Riverdale Avenue Books to give the SoulShares series
the treatment I’ve always wanted to give it, with everything they need to make
their world come alive,” said the author. “I like to think of the SoulShares as
a gateway drug – urban fantasy for lovers of erotic romance, erotic romance for
lovers of urban fantasy.”

“Once I saw the Cowboy4Angels
website, the men there reminded me of my cover models, except more
accessible," said Trevor. "It sparked my creativity.What if the reader could have their own
adventure with the man on the cover of their book? What would you do if the
rules didn't apply to you?"

Riverdale Avenue
Books’ Publisher Lori Perkins said “The story is so powerfully sensual – every woman’s
Vegas naughty daydream – and yet Trevor manages to bring it all together with
an erotic romance twist.”

Garren James, founder and President of Cowboys4angels
said “I always imagined these amazing gentleman who love to make women happy as
the perfect characters for a series of novels for women.We hope that this becomes a vehicle for
women’s fantasies featuring our fabulous men.”

Says the author of his new collection, "I had a great time writing Jockboys. It's kind of meta-porn: full of literary devices, socio-political overtones, and funny I hope. But still loaded with balls-out sex."
